The main “cutting” of funds for the military field in the United States is carried out at the expense of the cost of maintaining foreign military bases. President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin writes that he came to this conclusion in an interview with journalist Dmitry Kiselev RIA News.
“They spend a lot of money not only on wages, but also on the maintenance of bases around the world,” the Russian leader says.
During the meeting, the head of state admitted that the military budget in the United States was “cut” due to the fact that hypersonic weapons were not put into service, despite record funds for the defense sector.
“It’s like everything goes into a black hole, you can’t count anything there. This is where the main cutting takes place,” Putin said.
He also added that America’s military budget is $860-870 billion, and that these figures are “absolutely incomparable with the expenditures of the Russian Federation.”
